The electoral race in Turkey has entered its final days, leaving behind many questions without clear answers. The absence of the hypothesis of loss in the political rhetoric of Erdogan and Kılıçdaroğlu makes the country ill-equipped to deal smoothly with its consequences.

The Western media campaign against Erdogan makes it questionable whether he will actually relinquish power if he is defeated. The key factor in determining whether either side will accept the results of an election that is not in its favor depends on how much it believes in democracy.
